PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy describes how and when we collect, use and share information when you purchase an item from us, contact us, or otherwise use our services through www.lynnforderdesigns.co.uk.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control.

Information We Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide us with certain information such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information and the details of the product that you are ordering.  You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information (for a custom order of a lampshade for example) if you contact us directly.

Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It.

We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use and share your information, including:

  • As needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support.

  • When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as signing up for our mailing list.

  • If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law.

  • As necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our services.  We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about our customers is important to our business.  We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances as follows:

  • Compliance with laws.  We may collect, use, retain and share your personal information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to 1) respond to legal process or to government requests; 2) enforce our agreements, terms and policies; 3) prevent, investigate and address fraud and other illegal activity, security or technical issues or 4) protect the rights, property and safety of our customers and others.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in our Privacy Policy.  However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements.
